I believe it is. I was the biggest cynic on the planet. No WAY was I gonna become one of "them". I considered christians fools, especially prayer that made them fall over. I saw it as pathetic but i enjoyed church for the music team. Long story short someone convinced me to go up for prayer. Others were falling over (making fools of themselves) but reluctantly I went. I told the prayer lady I wouldnt be falling over and considered it silly. The moment her hand touched my head it felt like hot oil pooring into the top of my head. I couldnt hear what she was saying, as I was too busy trying to fight off the sensation to melt right down to the floor. I became overwhelmed and scared so I pushed her hand away and screamed "stop". She wasnt ready but I insisted and refused to let her continue... I was scared and I tell the total truth, I began crying and shouting out "what the F**** was THAT.... OMG what the f*** was THAT?! It was the holy spirit. Brainwashed you say? I think not.

Yes.
Religion runs a distant second to the power of brainwashing of popular culture.
A proper exposure to God and religion can help to counteract the real brainwashing that popular culture is constantly throwing at all of us in books, movies, TV, songs, advertisements, and even video games.
Popular culture is constantly bombarding us with intensive, not-so-forcible indoctrination, aimed at setting up worldly convictions and attitudes.
Popular culture comes at us from all directions including books, movies, TV, songs, advertisements, video games and even the Internet.
A few of the these immoral values include:
- Lust and Sex (outside of marriage)
- A disrespect for God and religion
- A disrespect for lawful authority
- A disrespect for our human dignity
- Envy, greed and consumerism
- Anger and Violence
- Drug abuse including smoking and alcohol
- Vanity, outside is more important than inside
- Prejudice and hate
I think that if we expose our children to all this immorality without the moral anchor of God and religion "until they can come to a conclusion of their own" then we would be unwise, irresponsible, and frequently too late.
With love in Christ.

what do they mean by true? there is a difference between truth and fact. if you want to know facts you go to science, if you want to know truth you go metaphysics. as a christian I believe that genesis presents truth, but I do not believe it a fact. genesis is making sense of the facts of the human condition.genesis is a poetic narrative describing the human condition, through the lens of the ancient hebrews. truth is relative to ones world-view. we use "truth" to make sense of the facts. for example, we say that evolutionary theory is true, because it best makes sense of the facts. truth is the narrative that makes sense of the facts (exeprience).

When someone doesn't believe what another does, or see the reality of it, it's convenient to accuse them of being brainwashed. It's a quick way to excuse something that makes one uncomfortable. The accuser is actually the one with the weak mind.

Weak minds are easily brainwashed by fairy stories told by leaders of all major and minor organized religions.

Nope, but you can call it systematic indoctrination if the phrase "brain wash" bothers you.
